Question

Example: Van de Vusse Reaction in an CSTR Van de Vusse liquid phase reaction is carried out in an isothermal CSTR according to the following stoichiometric equations: k3 where B is the desired product, and C and D are the undesired byproducts. The feed to the CSTR contains the reactant A only. The reaction rates are given by the following rate laws: 2 Additional information: k 0.8333 min k2 1.667 min, k3 0.1667 L min mo1, V=71, CAO = 10mol/L, t0 = 4 L/min. 1. Calculate the species concentrations (C) and the overall selectivity and yield at steady state for the given conditions 2. Plot C, vs t. Find the optimumt. 3. For the specified V, calculate the optimum vo 4. For the specified o, calculate the optimum V. 5. Is this an acceptable reactor scheme to use for this reaction? Explain your answer and show how the overall selectivity & yield can be further increased 6. Plot the concentration profiles during the startup, where the reactor is initially filled with a solvent only and its volume is maintained constant.

please solve it right .
